Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic in London

The Los Angeles Philharmonic and music director Gustavo Dudamel are just wrapping up a very successful European tour, with stops in Madrid, London, Paris, and Vienna. We'll hear from their concert at London's Barbican Hall, where one critic said it was "impossible not to be swept away." Dudamel and the LA Phil play Beethoven's Seventh Symphony in London.
